All of my intentions, when I went back to church, after my mother's death, were to not miss heaven; so I could see my mother again. I had no fear of God. However, through my quest for heaven, I found God, and oh how I fear Him now!
In reading my Bible everyday, I have become acquainted with Him and His ways! Everyday I fear Him more! As I feast on His Word, He sheds His love for me into my heart and I am amazed at His terrible mercy and His grace!
"Come and see the works of God: He is terrible in His doing toward the children of men." (Psalms 66:5 KJV)
In desiring to please Him; in committing to obedience to His Commandments, He has shown me His love, His integrity, and His great restraint in dealing with His creation! All I can say I am glad He is God! The mess we've made of our lives and our country; I'm sure none of us would continue to extend mercy to such as we! I look at how bad I was (am) and how He saved me; instead of destroying me in my sin and I am amazed; multiply that by millions!
"Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord. (Jeremiah 9:23, 24 KJV)
Try for a moment and wrap your head around Who God Is!
You may be thinking,"well if I believed in God . . . "!
I am here to tell you just because you question His existence; in no way diminishes Him!
He Is!
And He Is More!
Mere words cannot explain Him!
I think explaining Who He is NOT might be better! He is not a genie in the bottle, who is at our beck and call! He is NOT Santa Claus who gives rewards when we are good! But, isn't that how we pray? Gimme, gimme, gimme!
“But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.”
Jeremiah 10:10 KJV
And it is coming!
Since the fall of mankind, when sin separated us from our Creator, He has raised men to exhort us to repentance! All throughout history we read of great men of God making it their life's purpose to cry out to a perishing world; to turn from sin and accept the free gift of salvation! God inspired them!
God reaching out to us!
How long Oh LORD?
The Word speaks of a day when He will say "Enough!" It gives signs of what it will be like in the "Last Days"; it appears we are there!
We all know we won't live forever and that is why we consider Heaven!
However, if you don't fear God, do you really think you will see it? If you do not obey His Word; have no respect for Him and His Commandments, do you think there will be a place for you there!
The Word says if you won't forgive; you won't be forgiven, but yet you think you'll go to heaven!
“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
Matthew 6:14-15 KJV
Please look at your heart!
Repent of your sins!
Time is so short!
Even so - MARANATHA!
From 5/14/14
“O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”
Matthew 12:34-37 KJV
THAT alone should strike fear in your heart!
Repent, while there is still time! After death, there is no repentance.
